Picnic in the Park...a fun and festive member-only event put on by Sandy, Travel Town Staff and Volunteers on June 14. Hot Dogs, watermelon, and ice cream were enjoyed by all. Cake walk, musical mats and the egg relay were the fun games that the kids (young and old alike) enjoyed. The Eagle Rock High School Band played patriotic themed tunes all day long. A very special thanks goes to our volunteers, staff, and Eagle Rock HS band....without them, these events wouldn't be possible. Thank you to all of our members for your continued support of the Travel Town Museum Foundation.
